#MakossaBK 2018 Season Finale

September 4, 2018

2018 ushers in the 9th consecutive summer for the Makossa Brooklyn Cookout. Still considered one of the best outdoor summer soirees in Brooklyn, Wonway Posibul of Latin Soul Brothers links up with NYC-based event promotion team Rare Form to bring his famous Makossa sound from San Francisco to NYC to create a bicoastal vibe like none other. Since its birth in the backyard of Williamsburg boutique/gallery Fresthetic in 2010, the monthly cookouts have garnered a loyal following and experienced incredible growth, including the Makossa Los Angeles Cookout and a three-city tour in 2017 (Charlotte, Chicago, and Atlanta) sponsored by Miller Lite.

2017: Year in Review

December 30, 2017

2017 is almost in the books. I came across a post on Instagram that described this year as a shopping cart to the ankles ... I don't think I could explain it any better myself. As turbulent of a year as it was for me personally, it was also one of growth and transition; first and foremost as a man but also as a photographer.

I took almost 5,000 images this year 😲 It wasn't easy to whittle it down but jump in and find out my ten favorite portraits I took in 2017, a few select street shots, and more!
